Enabling remote management of a distributed vertiport network

Explore how digital infrastructure will revolutionize our future transportation systems and urban landscapes. Expect to learn: how lessons can be learned from existing transportation networks to help drive the requirements for future infrastructure; to unify air traffic management, advanced air mobility (AAM) operations and ground infrastructure critical to the viability of the emerging sector; situational awareness, software-assisted decision-making and teleoperations can be leveraged to maximize vertiport efficiency; a modular approach should be taken to first type system design to unlock future scalability.

The audience will learn:

• Digital infrastructure required to remotely monitor and control a network of vertiports
• Situational awareness – integration of digital systems
• Software-assisted operations – automating low-risk/low-value tasks
• Teleoperations – reducing site-based staff
• AAM system unification - Fleet management, air traffic management and vertiport system management
